Hardware cloth and chicken wire.

[Al Gerhart]

Consider that a strong dog can easily rip through chicken wire. It is just twisted together, not welded like hardware cloth. I would bet that a badger could easily rip through chicken wire as well if an English badger is similar to an American badger.

Saw a a dog rip a hole in a steel chain link dog kennel once.Now the only thing I trust is 16 gauge 1/2" galvanized steel hardware cloth reinforced with screws and washers,etc...
